Can I fall in love with Nalia?

Aerie is very cute she's so sweet but unfortunately she's multi-classed and it causes her to advance level slowly but Nalia is the best Mage in the game (if I'm wrong please correct me, note that I'm at good side so I can't have evil mages) well as Cleric let's get Anomen (his skills may be low but his WIS increases after) you got 1 super mage and 1 super cleric! As thief Yoshimo is the only choice except Imoen and Jan. When I find Jan I'll kick him

And one question,
I'm at chapter 2 and I'm without Imoen. In other chapters can I have her or she goes off oftenly?

Don't kick Jan he's hilarious as for the mage question if you keep your repuation down Edwin is a better mage than Nalia who whines a lot.

Jan is also a better bet as a thief than Yoshimo because he gets mage spells.

Welcome to the Forum

You can get Imoen later on I'm not saying more than that because it'l spoil the game.

I'm really not a fan of Nalia, found her to be a dead weight. I'm just about to dump her a second time as I'm heading off to get Valygar in this new restarted game. As far as her being the best mage? Nope, no way, she's a dual class which means that it kills her highest level mage skills. In my book, she's weak and useless. And yes, I believe that, weight for weight, Jan is far, far better than Nalia.

As for Yoshimo, without giving any spoilers here, all I say is "Never again". As for Imoen, she won't come back before a long, very long while. There too I had a long debate, if she'd be any value to my team by then but I'm not even sure I'd have the choice to toss her off as I took her back into the team just because of her sexy voice ;] Oh! and she did become a very powerful fighter in my first game eventhough she's a Mage/robber! She's was in the front lines, fighting one-on-one battles with the some of the best ones out there, given she had a proper weapon in her hands.

I concur. I take Nalia for her quest and nothing more. Dead, ANNOYING weight.

Me, I quite like Nalia, and she is the best good mage in the game! She's a dualled thief/mage, not multi-class so she does gain experience much more quickly then Aerie.

Personally though, I've kept the pair of them when I've played a good party, and had Anomen as well. This gives a quality cleric, a quality mage and a "second string" in both.

As to Nalia moaning... after Xan in BG1 nothing is bad and I mean nothing

I have Nalia in ToB, currently level 27. She is my primary spell-user and she kicks a lot of ass for the needy. I want to marry her but worry about her snobby aunt. I wrote Dear Abbygalicus (demi-goddess of advice for idiots)but she hasnt written me back yet. Please help me get together with Nalia

Everybody's talking about this JAN guy. I really wonder 'bout him. He is a dual class right? And one more thing about dual class, Nalia is 4th level thief and 9th level mage as I remember, this means she does not have any level limitations right? I mean she advances level like a normal mage?

My band (oops I mean party!) me (grandmaster 2hw fighter) minsc jaheira aerie yoshimatsu. Anomen and Nalia wants to join me but I can take only one of them. I cant decide. I think I must pick Nalia because she's got a quest.

I want to keep Yoshi til I find a good thief. And I like Minsc he's funny and tough want to keep him forever. Jaheire I dont like her, the nature lover beastlover woman! And she's multi classed. bad bad bad! I love Aerie but our paths with her is full of question marks because she dies easily she got only 30 hp and I get sad when she died. Shes multi classed she wont be a good mage as NALIA and a good cleric as ANOMEN so I think I have to leave her.. any advice? I'm thoughtful I'm thinking about this problem all day. My girlfriend asks me are you ok?

Jaheira isn't that bad. I kind of liked her. When she levels up a bit, you get some great spells. Every big fight I got into, she was chillin in the back casting elementals, summoning woodland beings, casting insect plague on the mages... She really is pretty useful eventually. If nothing else, it's worth it for the elementals. When you cast them as a mage you have to wait to gain control over them and it's not a sure thing, with her they react instantly and there is no chance of not dominating them.

Aerie sucks. I hope she dies.

Nalia sucks. I don't want her to die, but she is as useless as a bucket of hair.

Keldorn rocks. Great tank when equiped with a righteously vengeful sword.

Minsc rocks. Once again a great tank and casts some useful healing spells eventually.

Viconia is cool. A little sassy, but good solid cleric. Just can't have her with keldorn unless you want fights.

Anomen blows. Nuf said.

Valygar is great. Comes equipped with some pimp armor and weapons. Great quest with him too.

Yoshimo is pretty good to keep for awhile...

Jan is good too. Great theif/spellcaster

After reading all those messages I understood that there isnt anybody who had romance with Nalia. She's some kind of hard woman I thinkj

Male characters can only have romances with Aerie, Jaheira, and Viconia. Female characters can only have romances with Anomen.
